Essential Advice for Installing Curtains - And When to Seek Professional Help

Installing curtains or draperies may appear to be a minor aspect, but it holds the power to enhance or diminish the overall design of a room. Familiarizing yourself with the fundamentals of hanging curtains or draperies, such as choosing the appropriate length and positioning brackets, can serve as a starting point.

Although these actions mark the initial stages, collaborating with an expert guarantees that every aspect is carefully considered, ranging from achieving harmonious proportions to selecting durable hardware for optimum outcomes. Here are some crucial suggestions for installing curtains or drapes - and how enlisting the help of our specialists can elevate your window treatments into a design focal point.

Picking the Appropriate Curtain Length

A frequently asked question is about the ideal placement of curtains and their desired length. Long curtains or drapes can give a polished look, whereas shorter curtains may be more suitable for functional areas like the kitchen. For a more sophisticated and polished appearance, seeking professional assistance to accurately measure and install the drapery is recommended. Experienced installers have the expertise to ensure that the drapery hangs just above the floor or creates a small puddle effect for a touch of luxury in less frequented areas.

Placement of Overlap and Brackets

To guarantee complete coverage and privacy, it is important to have the correct overlap of curtains or drapery, where they extend beyond the window on both sides. The standard advice is for the drapery to go 4 to 6 inches past the window frame, however, this may vary depending on the window and the specific design of the room. Seeking guidance from professionals can assist in finding the ideal placement to achieve a balanced appearance that complements the proportions of the room.

Our experts ensure the proper installation of drapery rod pockets by determining the ideal height and distance for brackets. This detail helps to visually enhance the height of your ceilings and perfectly frame your windows, ultimately elevating the overall appearance of the room. The investment in a professional touch is well worth it for these small but impactful details.

Enhancing Durability of Drapery

Properly securing the brackets and using the correct hardware is crucial when hanging heavier materials such as blackout drapery. This is important in preventing any bending or drooping of the drapery rod. Experts typically use durable hardware that can handle the weight while also giving a smooth and seamless look. This guarantees that your drapery will hang gracefully and remain secure for an extended period of time.
